361. Alexx Stuart - Mould and Humidity FAQs


Listen Later

Not every mould situation is a massive problem or leads to complex chronic illness - the good news is there’s a lot you can do with a couple of tools and some literacy, to prevent mould in your home from causing symptoms or damaging soft furnishings. So, in this show, I answer some of the most common questions I’ve received heading into the humid season here in Australia and, in the show notes you have a tonne more resources to support you if you’re currently worried about mould affecting your home, possessions or health. 


So in this show you’ll learn how to: 


  • Gauge humidity levels in your home
  • Know when it’s time to crank your dehumidification strategy 
  • Know what types of units, size/how many you might need if your air management systems in your home don’t manage humidity effectively enough as they are. 
  • Know how to not be annoyed by noise or heat generated by dehumidifiers with a simple ‘where we are not’ strategy for rotation. 
  • Know how often you need to dehumidify
  • Know what testing you can consider if you think your problem in the home is beyond humidity and you need to think about mould testing
  • And a bonus given I’ve been asked so much lately: Healing from mould on a budget - practical things you can do! 


Hope it’s helpful and any more questions, let’s keep the conversation going, 

Alexx
